Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
When an attempt is made to run a yum update, the error below is reported.
Obviously, a network connection is failing, however there are 6 yum repos that could have failed in this case, and the error message does not indicate the URL it was trying to fetch.
As a result the administrator does not have a clear and unambiguous cause of the error, and needs to check all 6.
Please include the URL in the error message.
[root@tools02 certs]# yum update
Failed to set locale, defaulting to C

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Does this still happen with --noplugins? I wouldn't be shocked if this was an error from the rhnplugin, if it does can you change the command to:
ULRGRABBER_DEBUG=1 yum -d9 update
...to get more data.
More precise reproducer of very similar bug:
make sure that hostname of RHN/Satellite/Spacewalk gets resolved to address you have under control (e.g. set hostname localhost in /etc/hosts) and on that machine run
nc -l 443 >/dev/full
(make sure serverURL in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date use https protocol) then run
yum repolist
and you will get
Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
Network error: ssl handshake failure
The network error is not connected to any particular repository -- it is caused when communicating with RHN/Satellite/Spacewalk. I propose changing error message to the following:
rhn-plugin: Network error: Connection reset by peer
Thus pointing out to configuration of rhnplugin narrowing the possibilities.
Would this be ok?
